My favorite thing to do in Atlanta is...

Walk along the Beltline! There are so many entrances across the city and plenty of restaurants to grab lunch or dinner at with your friends!

What has been your most impactful class?

Sights and Sounds of Health! This class taught me everything about our visual and auditory systems and helped me discover the sophistication of how our eyes and ears work!

What is your favorite Emory tradition?

I LOVE Dooley's week! It's always so fun to walk around and see our unofficial mascot dismissing people from class and messing around with students in the Student Center.

On a random day, you're most likely to find me….

Walking through one of the many trails we have on campus! I'm a big fan of Lullwater Park, Baker Woods, and Hahn Woods, all of which are located on Emory's Atlanta campus. They are a great place to destress and immerse yourself in nature, and observe the unique wildlife of the south east!

I'm passionate about...

Volunteering and Community Service Performing Arts Exploring nature Peer Tutoring
